A guide to animal sponsorship

Sponsoring or adopting an animal is quick and easy to do online. The main places to sponsor or adopt an animal are: Buyagift or WWF. In each place when you sponsor or adopt an animal you get a gift pack including details of the animal and lots of extras.

So how does it work? Basically, sponsorship of an animal, whether it be a lion or orang-utan, an elephant, donkey, badger, tiger, rhino, rabbit or a rodent tend to be run by animal welfare organisations and charities.

Sponsorship can be done as a gift for someone for Christmas or their birthday.

With most sponsorships, you will receive a certificate to show that you have sponsored the animal and normally a glossy photo. Some organisations will send you a newsletter to update you on your sponsored animal or maybe a small gift – these tend to vary from sponsorship to sponsorship.
